Even after Rallos lead his creations against the Rathe Council, and they supposedly killed the Rathe Council, the Rathe still lived, and Rallos was confined to his Plane. As for the death of Lanys, that's a bit sketchy, since I think I recall whispering of her after the GMs went event wild (those were the days!). The Tunare/Thule event in Lesser Fay was pretty cool. You can still find Equestrielle in LFay today! Still as [Removed for Content] as ever, from what I hear, too.
The problem with trying to guess the motives of the gods, is that we have so very little to go on. We have never known the entirety of their plans, and until we actually broke into their planes, knew very little about even those (with exceptions to Fear, Hate, Sky, and Mischief, but honestly, who can tell me WHAT was going on in the Plane of Mischief! Talk about a bad acid trip) We've never known the minds of the gods. Only snapshots. Small windows into a vastness that helps shape our world...
To try and second guess a god is like watching a three year old trying to figure out what dad does at work all day, only on a scale 10 times bigger. We're talking about denizens who have the power to shape a dimension (plane) to their very will.
Personally, I'm just going to wait and see what happens, and do what's best for me with whatever comes along. Let the gods take care of the gods. I'll take care of myself.
when Rallos and his minions invaded the Plane of Earth, they didn't kill the entire Rathe Council. they were able to kill one of them, and I believe there were originally 13 councilmen. but now there are only 12. also, i believe it was at that point, when they managed to destroy one of the Councilmen, that the rest of the Pantheon took notice. they then acted as one to subdue Rallos and imprison him, and curse all his creations.
